[Bug]: Feishu group chat: slash commands like /new, /status, and /model do not work and may lose message content #49915

Description

Bug type

Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash)

Summary

In a Feishu single-bot group chat with group-bound agent routing, slash commands such as /new, /status, and /model do not work.
More importantly, they do not seem to reach the agent as normal text either. From the assistant side, these messages behave like empty-content events with metadata only.
Environment
Channel: Feishu
Chat type: group chat
Mode: single bot
Routing: group-bound agent
Feishu plugin: @larksuiteoapi/feishu-openclaw-plugin
Plugin version: 2026.3.8

Steps to reproduce

  • Use OpenClaw in a Feishu group chat with a single bot and group-bound agent routing.
  • Send normal messages to establish context.
  • Send /new.
  • Ask a follow-up question that checks whether context was reset.
  • Send /status and /model or other slash commands.

Expected behavior

Either:

  • slash commands should work as OpenClaw control commands, or
  • at minimum, they should still be delivered to the agent as normal text

Actual behavior

/new does not reset the session/context
/status and /model do not work
slash messages do not appear to arrive as normal text
from the assistant side, they look like empty-content events / metadata-only messages
